I just bid on an eBay Colour Shaper from China. I don't care if it takes a long time to come. I wonder if it'll be the same quality as the British ones. I won't go too high on the bid. Let's see.

If somebody bids after you hold off bidding until the last 15 seconds so you don't drive up the bid. I've won many auctions that way. Good luck.

Are you bidding on one or a set?

Sorry you didn't fight off the cold, Lizzie. Feel better!

No, but I have that started picture of Gabe staring at me, plus my bank statement and a condolence letter, none of which I want to address right now. Eenie-meenie-minie-moe, which task should I do first? Probably the bank statement is the simplest.

Meanwhile, I tried to put the 2nd version of Maija into a frame, and one of the little things that you turn to hold the frame's back to the front broke off! This picture of Maija just doesn't want to happen!

So I decided to return the frame to Michaels's, even though I bought it way before Christmas. I still have the receipt. Will they take it back now? Too much time might have passed for returns.

And I decided to put it back together as it was sold, with the picture they have in the frame and a little triangle saying something about the picture. I had put them in the recycling bin, and now I can't find that little triangle! Where did it go? A black hole in my house, I'm sure. Why do things disappear like that? Bill said the cat probably played with it and it's under something, but I doubt it. I lost a small vial of cinnamon e-liquid a while ago, and it never reappeared, but the cat doesn't play with papers, which I have all over, so I really can't attribute this to the cat. I hate it when things just arbitrarily disappear! It disturbs my sense of how the world works/should work, where everything's accounted for in some way. Things don't just go away! Though sometimes, I wish certain situations would.

So, in any case, I'll return the frame w/o the little triangle in the corner and see if they take it back incomplete after such a long time since I bought it.

Wish me luck with this, folks.

(I'm really glad this is the biggest crisis in my life right now. The disappearance of that triangle of paper is a mystery, but I really don't think it's seriously a problem.)

I tried to post the little rolling laughing head icon but it's not working so.....ROFLMAO!

It does.

I wonder why it's not working for me. Time to clear my history and cache I guess.

My browser is blocking the pop up window for some reason. It's never done that before. <Insert naughty word here>

A set. We'll see if I win.

Well I found a work around. The window pops up but the slider doesn't work so I can't see all the icons so I have to drag the window down until I find the icon I want. What a PITA. I thought it was my browser but I'm not so sure now. If anybody has an explanation I'd love to hear it.

SandySu · Jan 17, 2014

Good night, everyone. Here's a tree for you Terry. A very old willow covered in winter snow.

Do them often enough - no longer need the list . . .

BTW: Those are only the basics that ECF supplies - :shock:

there are so many more too . . . :thumbs:

I found in Site Feedback that others are having this problem. ECF did an upgrade that has effected javascripts. I haven't read the whole thread yet so I don't know how to fix it yet. I don't even know if javascripts is on or where to look. :facepalm:

You're right. :lol:

Well gez

I solved the problem with the "More icons" by making the window full size. I had it minimized. I don't know why some of you can use the "More icons" button and others can't unless you are displaying it maximized. This is a vBulletin problem that isn't going to be fixed. Also the pic uploader has changed and causing a lot of people problems but not for me so far. This isn't going to be fixed either. I got this info from Site Feedback.

Oooh, Sandy; what a cool old tree. This is one of my favorites, of the one's you've posted.

Good morning peeps. Hubby got a giant bag of Christmas blend coffee as a reward so drink all you want!!

That is the coolest gnarly tree in the snow, SandySu.

Hoping last night was the worst night of having a cold or flu and that I will be improving by tomorrow. I cancelled my cleaning job for today. Super easy dinner tonight of left over crock pot roast on bagels with a can of green beans. It may not be fancy but I don't have to cook so I am happy.

Instead of having Hubby buy expensive Mexican restaurant food, I had him buy some corn tortillas, tortilla chips and hot salsa at the grocery store and we had a Mexican fiesta from a crock pot roast last night. Not a true cure but I do feel a little better
